Scott Hartsman Eurogamer Interview

Didnt see anyone else post this yet, below is a quote from a eurogamer interview with scott hartsman posted yesterday. I almost cried when I read it.

Eurogamer: With patches comes the hotly contested area of class balance. What's causing class imbalance in Rift at the moment?
Scott Hartsman: It depends on where you look. In general things are pretty good. We don't have anybody who's an order of magnitude off where they're supposed to be, as has happened in basically every game in the history of MMOs.
....
We've got a particularly troublesome ability on Saboteurs that's causing them to do better damage in the game than anybody else.
....
Eurogamer: The Saboteurs are going to be brought in line - that damage wasn't intended?

Scott Hartsman: No - yeah. In practice what it's doing is adding far more charges to their target than the ability was supposed to add.

roll rogue to be one best melee dps yet we ended all useing sab soul becasue melee rogue are so low in dps
when think about it this nerf today to sab soul to point ware it doing 550dps when classes that under gear doing 800-900 dps some good player doing 1k that x2 more dps that rogue
or 300dps more any melee rogue

you guys Fail Tron big time . do you think rogue get invit into good Expert party now Tron ? becasue it no they will not

acc close will hold for update buff .

just go look at game like age conan ware nerf rogue so hard game end up fill up with caster all melee are fail class now game called age of caster lol IS tron going same way ? hope not

The devs are idiots. Either they don't actually test their own **** or there's just a major agenda being passed in by project directors. SUBMIT INGAME FEEDBACK AND BUG TICKETS. FLOOD THEM AND MAKE THEM LISTEN!!!

This is a childish approach equivalent to banging pots and pans after being unfairly grounded. I'm not happy about it either, and if you think they're idiots then you should play another game. Idiots don't suddenly become smarter. If you instead think they are reasonable people that lack experience and data, and eventually will come around, all you can do is be patient.

I really wish that devs would publish where they think numbers are at for classes.

There are players that know this game better then the devs, have these guys not scene mages or warriors dmg.
They should have made the sab a dot class, all sab charges do there dmg over 6-8 seconds.
Would have been great for pve as a cleric who likes to react and wouldn't have nerfed pve.

I think they need to add arena to the game, and the reason is, it'd help them balance the game.
